Medical negligence

Birth injury, obstetric and gynaecology claims

Medical negligence is a central part of our work in Ireland, with a particular focus on pregnancy, birth and women's health.

That includes injuries to a mother or baby during labour and delivery, problems in pregnancy that were missed or diagnosed late, gynaecological surgery that went wrong, and mistakes in the care of babies and children.

Louise Harkin, a solicitor admitted in Ireland, leads this work. Kearney Law is the Foundation for Infant Loss's exclusive legal panel member for the whole of Ireland. As with every claim, there are no upfront fees.

Questions

Questions people ask before they call

More answers in our FAQ centre.

Do I have to pay anything upfront?

No. There are no upfront fees. Before you go ahead, we explain in writing how our fees work. No Win No Fee explained

How long do I have to make a claim?

In most personal injury cases, including medical negligence, the time limit is two years from the date of the injury, or from the date you first knew about it if that is later. For a child, the two years usually start on their 18th birthday. It's best to get advice early, while the evidence is fresh.

What is the Injuries Resolution Board?

It's the state body, formerly called PIAB, that assesses most personal injury claims in Ireland. You usually have to apply to it before a claim can go to court, and we prepare the application for you. Medical negligence claims don't go through the Board.

Can I claim if I don't live near one of your offices?

Yes. You don't need to visit an office. Most claims can be handled by phone, email or video call.
